Chapter 2624
"I once heard ah Jing mention that Mr. Huo has five sons with equal ability. Originally, the company of the Huo family should be inherited by the boss, which is the most undisputed thing. However, both Mr. Huo and Mr. Huo are public servants, and they can't inherit the company of the Huo family. The remaining three, four and five have equal ability, and no one can agree with them."
Ye Xingbei asked, "is the Huo family in the business district?"
"Yes," Gu Junzhu said, "Mr. Huo used to be an imperial businessman in his family. His family had a lot of money. When it came to Mr. Huo's generation, the eldest and the second had the ability and talent. Mr. Huo sent them to experience early, and later they both got along well."
"I see," said Ye Xingbei, "it's just like in ancient times, rich families would work hard for their children to study and take exams in the hope that they would be able to win titles, become officials and honor their ancestors."
Gu Jun by hook lips: "yes, that's it."
Ye Xingbei asked, "and then? The Huo family's eldest and second members have become public officials, and they are very good at mixing up. They can't do business. The third, fourth and fifth members are left to fight for the Huo family's company. Who wins in the end? "
"Now no one has won, but Huo Laosi has the highest voice," Gu Jun pointed to Huo Zhongqi, "because of him."
He was not in Beijing a few years ago. He knew some of the people and things of the top giants in Beijing, but he didn't know them in detail.
He knows the names of Mr. Huo and his five sons, but he doesn't know the names of the third generation of the Huo family.
Therefore, he did not know that Huo's son was Huo Zhongqi.
But he heard his younger generation say that Huo Laosi's son is a genius, and he has been a very powerful hacker since he was young.
Last year, when Huo Zhongqi was only seven years old, he broke through Huo's firewall and went to Huo's internal database for a tour.
When master Huo knew about it, he scolded the technicians of Huo, and his love and attention to Huo Zhongqi increased a bit.
Gu Junzhu pointed to Huo Zhongqi and said, "his meaning to Huo Laosi is just like Qianlong's meaning to Yongzheng."
"Some experts say that Kangxi only took a look at Yongzheng when he saw Emperor Qianlong as his grandson and chose to let Yongzheng succeed."
"Now, what Mr. Huo shows is this intention."
Ye Xingbei said, "because of Huo Zhongqi, Mr. Huo wants to give the company to Mr. Huo four?"
"Yes," Gu Jun nodded, "Huo Laosan, Huo Laosi and Huo Laowu have the same abilities, but Huo Zhongqi is the best in the third generation of Huo family. If the Huo family wants to be prosperous all the time, the second successor is very important, and the third successor is more important."
"It's reasonable," said Ye Xingbei. "Some people say that they can't be rich for three generations. It's because in the third generation, the successor is Taicai. Finding a powerful successor in the third generation can at least guarantee the prosperity of Huo family for several decades."
Gu Jun nodded: "yes, that's right. Some experts say that part of Kangxi's choice of Yongzheng's succession was based on such considerations."
"Although there is no way to judge whether this statement is right or wrong, one thing is certain that if all the descendants of Yongzheng were fatuous and incompetent, Kangxi would not choose to let Yongzheng succeed."
"Because Mr. Huo attaches great importance to his son, many people speculate that in the future, Mr. Huo will hand him over to Mr. Huo."
